Interesting fact

The coin is quite interesting! One fascinating fact about it is that the Turdetani people, who issued this coin, were a pre-Roman tribe that lived in the area that is now modern-day Spain. This coin, made of bronze and weighing 7.9 grams, was likely used for everyday transactions and provides a glimpse into the economic and cultural practices of the Turdetani people during that time period.
